That top cabinet is great.

[/U]QUOTE=Jobu;1943855]I have read about the Provincial League on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provin...ague_(baseball)) and here: https://journalletour.com/colour-of-baseball/

I have the following cabinet photos, one of the St Hyacinthe team, another awesome photo of a player from St. Jean, and then two guys in the field (the jersey on the right appears to say CA BBC).

I am not a uniform and equipment expert, but to me the St. Jean player's glove looks like a workman's style crescent padded glove, which dates it to 1897-1900 (or somewhat soon after):

I have better scans on my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132359...57677532628734

I am curious if anyone can tell me more about the photos, about this early period of the Provincial League, or contribute some scans of your materials to this thread.

Thanks![/QUOTE]
